Re: Battlefield 4 Rental server down

Hey @TargetRainman

If you're having some trouble with your rental server I'd recommend reaching out to the EA Help team. They may need to restart the server from their side to get it fixed for you. 

You can find more information on how to create a case with them at the EA Help website

  • @EA_Kent I did that. They referred me here. To the ea help section. I have a case # and they stated that they are not seeing any issues. I have multiple admins and everyone is having issues with the server. I would gladly give you admin rights if you want to check it out for yourself.

    What's the case number from when you spoke with them?

    I appreciate that. Do you have any other Admins on that server? If so, could you see if they're able to try clearing out the ban list? I've seen some situations where having a large ban list can cause issues with other Admin privileges.

    We do have a large ban list. Lots of trolls these days... I will see if they can do that. I can not personally access the ban list or my admin list or my VIP list. What is the limit of banned people??
  • @EA_Kent

    No one can access ban list, admin list, or VIP list. Shows 0 for each... If I try to re add admin it states admin already exists. Is there anyway to clear server and do a fresh restart? We can manually re-add admins. I could care less about the ban list at this point.

    Thanks for checking that for me. I'll forward this up to the team and see if they can take a look.

  • @EA_KentThank you very much... if there is a way just to reset to the original purchase state I can redo everything. that would be awesome. You have been a huge help. No one on EA customer service knew what to.do or recommend. It was very frustrating. I guess we will limit our ban list in the future.

  • Still not resolved. Even maps are locked up. States "You have reached the maximum number of user defined map rotations. Please edit your existing map rotations." 

    Note .. I cant edit them at all. Still shows 0 for all users accept friend list is populated

    I'll follow up with you here when I've got an update on this. Unfortunately it may be a bit considering that a lot of the Battlefield team is out of the office for the holidays. Thanks for being patient with us.

    Hey @TargetRainman

    Thanks for being patient with me on this. I heard back with some additional details, and I'm afraid that in-game support for Rental Servers has ended in Battlefield 4. As such, we no longer have a way to assist with resetting or restarting servers from our side. 

    For more information on this please check out this thread from earlier this year: 

    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/Not-all-servers-or-rented-server-shown-in-server-browser/m-p/8343782/highlight/true#M233060

    Apologies that I had to be the bearer of bad news on this, but I appreciate your patience while I was looking into it.

    That's something that the EA Help team would need to look into for you. I'm afraid we can't assist with a refund here on Answers HQ. I'd recommend following up with EA Help when you can so they can take a look. 

    You can find more information on how to set up a case with them over at the EA Help site. You can also reach out to them on Twitter or Facebook as well.
